Autosurf Setup Instruction Questions, No One see this yet!?

[mupegasus]

I read the Autosurf (Paid Daily Version 1.5) Setup manual carefully and found something that I don't really understand. I couldn't find the answer else where.
I hope someone in TG may have answer for them:


1. Upload all files to your server in the appropriate directory. You must upload all file in (ASCII mode) EXCEPT the images (img) folder, upload this in BINARY mode.
Questions: What if I choose "Auto" mode?

2. The CHMOD
CHMOD ALL ".php" files to 755
CHMOD the folders "banners" , "members" , "control" "style.css" to 777. CHMOD the /control/database_backup.sql file to 777 also.
Question: Is it really important to CHMOD files as instructed? What if I don't do that?


3. Use install_news.php to update your mysql database if you already running the script! Delete the file after you finish!
Question: What exactly is the function for?


4.Setup the cron job at around 12am server time using:
0 0 * * * GET http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
or if you get problems with the command above, try using:
0 0 * * * lynx --dump http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
OR
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
Question: How to do the above?? Copy the whole address?


5.Setup a backup cronjob if you desire around 1 hr later than the first (morning server time would be the best time to run your cronjob).
Question: How to set this? Does this mean a backup will be automatically done?

If any of you know the answer please advise. Thank you everyone!

1. Upload all files to your server in the appropriate directory. You must upload all file in (ASCII mode) EXCEPT the images (img) folder, upload this in BINARY mode.

Assuming "Auto" is Automatic? Its fine.

2. The CHMOD
CHMOD ALL ".php" files to 755
CHMOD the folders "banners" , "members" , "control" "style.css" to 777. CHMOD the /control/database_backup.sql file to 777 also.
Question: Is it really important to CHMOD files as instructed? What if I don't do that?

If you don't, then the script won't work properly.

3. Use install_news.php to update your mysql database if you already running the script! Delete the file after you finish!
Question: What exactly is the function for?

Oh- that is for the older script that doesn't have the news feature.

4.Setup the cron job at around 12am server time using:
0 0 * * * GET http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
or if you get problems with the command above, try using:
0 0 * * * lynx --dump http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
OR
0 0 * * * /usr/bin/curl --silent http://www.your-site.com/cronjob.php > /dev/null
Question: How to do the above?? Copy the whole address?

Go to your cronbjobs page in cpanel or whatever you're using, copy the code but replace your-site to your surf domain.

5.Setup a backup cronjob if you desire around 1 hr later than the first (morning server time would be the best time to run your cronjob).
Question: How to set this? Does this mean a backup will be automatically done?

Samething as above #4, but set the time at 1 hour later.
